2. The Devil Himself

Realizing what great power I had and what I could do with it, I had to smile.

Finally, I could take revenge on everyone in this lab, whether they had tested on me or not. The scientists tested on the others and myself, and anyone else was still a part of it. They were the people who came up with it all and told the others who to test on and what to use. I had gone through too much not to take up this opportunity.

It's time for death to take its toll.

I walked over to the scientist laying on the ground. Kneeling down, I grabbed the ID card from around his neck. This could come in handy.

Opening the door, I saw scientists walking up and down the hall. That is, until they spotted me. When they saw me, they froze in their tracks, and their eyes lowered to the body that lay behind me. They were about to scream, but someone beat them to it.

From down the hall, you could hear crashes and thuds, but that was background noise to the screams.

It's funny, really. When I was little, that sound made me scared and fear for my life. But now, it was music to my ears.

Everyone began running and scrambling to an exit at the end of the hall, trying to avoid me at all costs. Of course, this wasn't an exit that would lead outside. This place was a maze, and underground. That door would only lead them out of the testing wing.

While everyone was running, I turned my head in the opposite direction to see what else was frightening them. What I saw made me realize that I wasn't the only who had been given that drug.

Standing there in the middle of the hall, was an inhuman boy. When I looked closer I realized it was one of the few patients I had seen. He had amber eyes and ash blonde hair. That may sound normal, but there was blood streaking his hair, and that wasn't the 'inhuman' part. That part was reserved for the flames surrounding him without leaving a single burn mark.

I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms to watch what would happen next. Suddenly, the flames that had been encircling him spread straight down the center of the hallway, burning everything and everyone in sight. When they rushed past me, I watched with fascination.

Then I turned my head to look back at the boy. By this time, he had noticed to was there. He looked me up and down, and then he met my eyes. With a smile he walked over to me. The hallway was empty by now, everyone had either ran, or were dead.

"Well, well, if it isn't another of the prisoners of hell." His smile was pure white and evil, but it suited him very well. He stood just a couple inches taller than me, and looked down at me with that sadistic smile. I simply rolled my eyes at him and walked away.

At this he decided to use his fire power thing to put a literal fire wall in front of me. I stopped and spun around, glaring at him.

"Look, I know you want to get out of here as fast as possible, but we might as well stick together. My name's Lucifer because I'm hell to deal with, but you can just call me Luc," he said, that smile coming back. "What about you?"

At that I realized something. In the time I had been here, I hadn't said one word. I haven't spoken for ten years.

"My name is Nightshade. You'll find out why in about three minutes," I said, and by the look on his face, I said the right words. Turning around I saw that the fire had disappeared, so I began walking towards the exit, but I told Luc over my shoulder, "Are you coming or what?"

Immediately I heard his footsteps behind me and a second later he was right beside me. I knew for a fact that there were no more patients down here because I had seen all of them running with the scientists, and when I had passed each door I glanced in at each room to make sure everyone down here was gone.

When we reached the end of the hall, before we opened the doors, I slammed my fist through a glass case and hit the button that read self destruct. With that, Luc and I made are way up the stairs to begin the chaos that was soon to come.
